Note that much of this kind of information is already harvested from Wikipedia by DBpedia and Freebase so most of the issues involved have already been hashed out in that context. In fact, Wikipedia already provides the core of a knowledge base that people use to work with this sort of data.
Schema.org covers a few web-specific topics such as template marking and a little bit of SIOC-like differentiation of different types of web pages.
